Over the past year, the FCC has approved requests by OneWeb, Space Norway, and Telesat to access the US market to provide broadband services using satellite technology that, the FCC said, 'holds promise to expand Internet access in remote and rural areas across the country'.

Pai's endorsement isn't exactly a surprise: The FCC already has given its approval to rival companies with similar plans, including OneWeb, Space Norway and Telesat.

According to the FCC, if the proposal is approved, it would be the first time an American company has been given permission to use low-Earth orbit satellites for providing broadband. SpaceX might beat them all, though, simply because it also owns the rockets necessary to get those satellites into space and is already beginning to launch them. OneWeb is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, but was first licensed in the United Kingdom. Musk's January 16, 2015 announcement in Seattle, leaked onto YouTube by an attendee, came just two days after OneWeb announced that Virgin Galactic and Qualcomm had agreed to invest in its rival system. The launch in June will actually happen before the military certifies the massive SpaceX rocket because the mission is reportedly only experimental. Other public filings have revealed that the company hopes revenue from becoming an ISP could help fund its vision of a Mars colony.
